Preparation method of early-strength concrete admixture
The technical field is as follows:
the invention relates to an early strength concrete admixture, in particular to a calcium silicate hydrate hollow nanoparticle concrete early strength admixture prepared by utilizing an interfacial reaction, and belongs to the technical field of concrete admixtures.
Background art:
the early strength agent is an additive for accelerating early hydration of cement and improving early strength of concrete so as to meet construction and structure requirements. At present, global economic development is slowed down, environmental problems are increasingly prominent, early hydration of concrete is accelerated, early strength of the concrete is improved, economic benefits are improved, construction progress is accelerated, and emission of CO2 is reduced. Meanwhile, with the development of concrete technology, industrial waste is more and more widely applied to concrete as a basic raw material, and in order to reduce early hydration heat and improve concrete durability in the production of large prefabricated parts, a large amount of mineral admixtures such as mineral powder and fly ash are used, so that the early strength of the concrete is more slowly developed, and the process progress such as mold turnover, prestress loading and the like is influenced.
The nano calcium silicate hydrate is a common early strength agent, has a chemical structure similar to that of a cement hydration product C-S-H gel, can be used as a hydration product growth seed crystal to accelerate the early hydration reaction of cement, and has a remarkable early strength effect.
At present, calcium silicate hydrate is usually produced by directly reacting an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate and sodium silicate, and then a precipitate product is filtered and dried to produce calcium silicate hydrate powder. However, in practical application, the powder is difficult to uniformly disperse in concrete, and the early strength effect of the powder is influenced; in the presence of a dispersant, the aqueous solution of calcium nitrate and sodium silicate is selected to directly react to generate calcium silicate hydrate sol, and the sol is stable in storage and can be directly applied to the field of concrete.
For example, chinese patent CN201410593398 discloses a preparation method of calcium silicate hydrate sol as cement-based material early strength agent, which directly mixes and reacts an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate and sodium silicate in the presence of a dispersant, namely a naphthalenesulfonate formaldehyde condensate, to obtain a calcium silicate hydrate sol dispersion liquid, wherein the dispersion liquid is a stable liquid and has a certain early strength effect on cement paste.
Chinese patent CN201410591887 discloses that calcium nitrate and sodium silicate aqueous solution are directly mixed and reacted to obtain calcium silicate hydrate sol, and the calcium silicate hydrate sol dispersion is obtained by filtering the calcium silicate hydrate sol and dispersing the calcium silicate hydrate sol by using naphthalenesulfonate formaldehyde condensate.
The calcium silicate hydrate sol prepared by the method essentially utilizes the induction nucleation effect of the surface of the sol particle, the surface of the calcium silicate hydrate sol only plays the induction effect, and a large amount of substances in the calcium silicate hydrate sol cannot play the early strengthening effect, so that the doping amount is high, and the resource is wasted.
The invention content is as follows:
aiming at the defects that the existing hydrated calcium silicate early strength agent is difficult to effectively disperse or the mixing amount is too high, the invention provides the early strength agent with outstanding early strength effect and less dosage and the preparation method thereof.
The applicant finds that the calcium silicate hydrate is prepared into hollow nano particles, so that on one hand, the effect of inducing crystallization nucleation is retained, and the early strength effect is obvious; on the other hand, due to the hollow structure, the using amount can be greatly reduced.
Namely, the early strength concrete admixture of the invention comprises a calcium silicate hydrate hollow nano particle.
The early strength concrete admixture is prepared by the interfacial reaction of water soluble calcium salt in a dispersed phase, namely a water phase, and tetraethyl orthosilicate in a continuous phase, namely a non-polar solvent under the action of catalyst ammonia water.
The water-soluble calcium salt is calcium nitrate and calcium nitrite.
The non-polar solvent refers to cyclohexane, white oil and toluene.
The preparation method comprises the following steps:
firstly, preparing a water-soluble calcium salt, catalyst ammonia water and water into a solution, then mixing the aqueous solution and a nonpolar solvent containing an emulsifier and a co-stabilizer in a water bath at the temperature of 20-40 ℃, pre-emulsifying by high-speed stirring, and preparing an inverse miniemulsion by ultrasonic emulsification;
then slowly dripping tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) into the emulsion for 5-10 hours, dissolving the TEOS into the continuous phase, and reacting the TEOS with calcium salt at the interface to generate a hydrated calcium silicate shell layer because catalyst ammonia exists in the dispersed phase when the TEOS is diffused to the interface of the continuous phase and the dispersed phase;
finally forming the calcium silicate hydrate hollow nano particles.
The emulsifier adopts a lipophilic nonionic surfactant, and the HLB is 3-8. The dosage of the emulsifier accounts for 3-5% of the whole system (emulsifier/(continuous phase + disperse phase (without inorganic salt))), and the emulsion with the expected particle size is not easy to obtain due to too small dosage of the emulsifier, and the stability is also poor.
The emulsifier is Span40, Span60, Span80 and a mixture of two or more of the emulsifiers according to any proportion.
The co-stabilizer adopts polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride (CTAC) and Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB).
The amount of the co-stabilizer accounts for 0.5-1% of the whole system (co-stabilizer/(continuous phase + dispersed phase (containing no inorganic salt))).
The co-stabilizer can be cooperated with the emulsifier to further improve the stability of the emulsion. After the synthesis is finished, the obtained hollow particles are dispersed in water, so that the stability can be achieved, and the storage stability and the use convenience are improved.
The preparation method mainly comprises the following three steps:
(1) firstly, inverse miniemulsion containing calcium salt and catalyst is prepared, which is prepared by mixing aqueous solution of water-soluble calcium salt and catalyst ammonia water with nonpolar solvent containing emulsifier and co-stabilizer under high-speed stirring and ultrasonic emulsification.
The dispersed phase is water solution of calcium salt and ammonia water. The ammonia water is an important catalyst for the reaction of TEOS and calcium salt, and the dosage of the ammonia water is 1-2% of the mass of TEOS. The water-soluble calcium salt comprises inorganic calcium salts which can be dissolved in water, such as calcium nitrate, calcium nitrite, calcium acetate and the like, and the mass concentration of the water-soluble calcium salts is 10-20%.
Increasing the concentration of the water-soluble calcium salt can relieve the Laplace pressure, so that the stability of the emulsion is improved to a certain extent, but when the mass concentration of the water-soluble calcium salt exceeds 20%, the stability of the emulsion is adversely affected.
The continuous phase adopts non-polar solvents which are not mutually soluble with water, such as cyclohexane, toluene, white oil and the like, and the mass ratio of the continuous phase to the whole system (continuous phase/(continuous phase + dispersed phase (containing inorganic salt))) is 50-70%.
Mixing the dispersed phase and the continuous phase, placing the mixture in a water bath at the temperature of 20-40 ℃, pre-emulsifying for 15 minutes under high-speed stirring, and then ultrasonically emulsifying for 15 minutes to finally obtain the inverse emulsion with the particle size of 50-200 nm, wherein the particles are too small to be realized under the conditions, the stability of the emulsion is not good, the specific surface area of the hollow particles finally obtained is small, the early strength performance is inevitably reduced under the same quality, and the application performance of the final product is influenced.
(2) Keeping the temperature at 20-40 ℃, dropwise adding TEOS within 5-10 h under the stirring condition, and continuing the heat preservation reaction for 24h after the dropwise adding is finished. The dosage of TEOS is determined by the dosage of calcium salt, and the Ca/Si molar ratio is required to be 2: 1-1: 1.
(3) And raising the temperature to 80 ℃ for demulsification, and collecting the aqueous phase to obtain the dispersion liquid of the prepared hydrated calcium silicate hollow nano particles.
The early strength agent of the invention provides nano-scale calcium silicate crystal nuclei required by the growth of early hydration crystals of cement, and shortens the time of supersaturation of liquid phase ions and crystal nucleus formation in the initial stage of hydration, thereby greatly accelerating the early hydration of cement. Meanwhile, the early strength agent is hollow nano particles, and compared with the conventional calcium silicate hydrate sol, the early strength agent removes the part of calcium silicate which does not play a crystal nucleation role in the interior, so that the doping amount is greatly reduced, and the effect is better.
The early strength agent does not contain chloride salt, has no corrosion effect on reinforcing steel bars in concrete, and does not influence the durability of the concrete. The early strength agent is an extremely stable suspension system, is convenient to add and is easy to uniformly disperse in the concrete preparation process. In addition, the early strength agent promotes the cement to generate a large amount of calcium hydroxide in an early age, is very beneficial to the activation of the mineral admixture, has a particularly obvious early strength effect on the concrete using the mineral admixture with a large mixing amount, is particularly suitable for the production of concrete prefabricated parts, and can effectively reduce or even eliminate a steam curing process.
